<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hi Brian,<br><br>if I got that right, the problem is in the style rules. I don't know the rules that are used<br>for your map (provided by Ben Konrath), but the default style doesn't assign mkgmap:city<br>for the way with the id 265329468, and the way itself also doesn't contain the information.<br><br>These are the tags which I see before style processing using a bounds file dated 2014-06-13:<br><br>addr:housenumber=311,<br>mkgmap:admin_level6=New York County,<br>mkgmap:admin_level5=New York City,<br>mkgmap:admin_level2=USA,<br>addr:postcode=10019,<br>building=yes,<br>addr:street=West 51st Street,<br>mkgmap:admin_level4=New York<br><br>I see no rule in the default styles' address rules which handles this special case.<br><br>I am not familiar with addresses in USA, so I don't know if only New York is special?<br><br>Gerd<br><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: brianegge@gmail.com<br>Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2014 16:14:49 -0400<br>To: mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk<br>Subject: [mkgmap-dev] mkgmap in NYC<br><br><div>Hi,</div><div><br></div><div>I've been using a USA map from <a href="http://www.openmapchest.org/maps/united-states" target="_blank">http://www.openmapchest.org/maps/united-states</a> on my Garmin Nuvi 1450. In Connecticut it works quite well, but I drove into NYC yesterday and it couldn't find a single address.</div><div><br></div><div>I was trying to find: 311 W 51 St. Nomination shows the address as:</div><div><br></div><div><span class="ecxApple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre;"> </span>• House 311, West 51st Street, Midtown West, Manhattan, New York County, New York City, New York, 10019, United States of America</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/265329468" target="_blank">http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/265329468</a></div><div><br></div><div>I tried finding it in both "New York" and "New York City". Manhattan and Midtown West are not listed as cities. I even tried the intersection search and nothing came up. NYC has a near complete set of street addresses, so I expected I would have good results using OSM data. </div><div><br></div><div>I know the boundaries of NYC can be challenging at time, because the city has five boroughs, lots of neighborhoods and a ton of data. Today, I navigated to the approximate location on the GPS, and it decided the location was in Weehawken, NJ., (which is just across the Hudson). On my GPS, I did a reverse search, and it showed the address being in New Jersey! </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><img id="ecx21F088EC-79E4-45F2-89D3-FB60E5724098" src="cid:2EEC601B-1CDD-4560-BC81-A91DD7762B2B" height="480" width="640"></div><div><br></div><div>I didn't build the maps myself, and I don't know how the splitter works. Clearly Nomination has the address figured out correctly, but mkgmap does not. </div><div><br></div><div>Brian</div><div><br></div><br>_______________________________________________
